Pull, pull, pull!! What are you so scared of?? And why do you threaten them
with
Oprah owning them????? Oprah doesn't want them!!! This was a mission to help
women and you did NOTHING but cause HAVOC. So what if Oprah owns what we
sent,
why not Oprah instead of YOU??? She or you will not OWN the person, only the
original correspondence that we send her! You make it sound like a Oprah
Death
Threat!! How do you think she GETS stories??? You have your own agendas, why
can't you STATE that fact and let the women decide for themselves instead of
using
smoke screen scare tactics??

I am not going to go into great length to answer this one. There was a
huge discussion about this some time ago and I answered it more than
adquately. In response to legitimate questions about ownership we spent
considerable time (which distracted us from other efforts) to determine
what was fair etc. We went to well known web sites like Oprah and Web
MD and looked at their terms and conditions. If you compare our temrs
and conditions with theirs you will see that our rules are more weighted
towards the visitor, but we do need rules.
--
I invite you all to read our terms and conditions CAREFULLY and to look
back my posts of a month or so ago when all this came up. You will
notice incidentally that if you were to send your stories to Oprah
unsolicited, guess who would own them: OPRAH!! So the rules that we have
PROTECT the visitors to our site.
I do not want to repeat this again. If you have any questions then
please write to me directly - this is not a matter for the message
board, and any more postings like this will have to be pulled.
